mircea_popescu: wrt making Sybil attacks harder, isn't there/couldn't there be a GPG-like system that uses a common private key for a single owner, but also hash some sort of easily identifiable GUID as part of the pubkey/signature to indicate which machine it is on? that way an attacker's work becomes slightly more complex, as they need to not only create profiles but have a fresh VM/install/whatever for them

artifexd: yeah that

#trilema

2014-04-20

and cancelled the DDoS protection bullshit

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

and I told them that it sounds an awful lot like security through obscurity

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

so I asked them why I was paying for DDoS protection when it relies on an attacker never knowing the server's main IP ever under any circumstances

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

open a support ticket and get told that because the main IP is null-routed the DDoS protected IP can't proxy to it

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

so today it gets DDoS'd and they null-route the main IP, and HTTPS on that 2nd IP isn't working

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

they give me a secondary IP that will proxy traffic and still be available during a DDoS

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

(server is behind CloudFlare as well)

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

so that HTTPS can still get through

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

it gets DDoS'd occasionally, so I added DDoS protection on a single port for that server

#trilema

2014-04-20

fluffypony

I had a fight with one of the DCs that host a server for me today

#trilema
